An animal’s capacity to thrive hinges on the nervous system translating environmental information into physiological responses. This study identifies a post-transcriptional mechanism whereby ADAR RNA binding proteins regulate the key transcriptional effector PQM-1 in the C. elegans nervous system to promote survival in low oxygen.
Some years ago, we developed the PTex method to purify RNA-protein complexes from cells and tissue using UV cross-linking and liquid phase separation. The method, along with similar ones, has been used to identify #RBPs cell-wide. However, finding proteins that bind to a single RNA, is much harder.
There is a very interesting follow-up now that uses a similar idea but targets individual #mRNA or #RNA species. Its still a preprint but it looks good imho:
Very pleased to see our paper is now in print:
Time-dependent regulation of cytokine production by RNA binding proteins defines T cell effector function https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247%2823%2900430-8
here we show how RNA binding proteins regulate the magnitude and timing of cytokine expression in human T cells. and how the identified RBPs act a different time points and through different mechansism. The wonder world of RNA...
